“WHAT IS ESSENTIAL?”

[TRY YOUR BEST ] DO WHAT YOU CAN WITH WHAT YOU HAVE. 

We are adrift in a sea of impressions, tossed and thrown, not daring to question the forces that pull us around. Puppets at the mercy of those who pull. Work on becoming the maestro of your own mind. PERCEIVE AT LAST THAT THERE IS WITHIN YOU SOMETHING SUPERIOR AND MORE DIVINE THAN THAT WHICH RAISES PASSIONS AND MOVES YOU LIKE A MERE PUPPET,Do not let the chaos outside control U.

“Master The Art Of Control”

^Most of the time the things we say or do are not necessities, get rid of them and you will gain both time and calm ^“We should carefully choose where to place our focus on and what we expend our precious hours on.”** ON EACH OCCASION ASK YOURSELF-Is this necessary? Does it make me happy or does it cause me stress? Keep asking yourself this daily ..Cut out the noise and focus on what truly matters to you. **

PRACTICE WHAT IF-What could go wrong, what obstacles might get in my way. Recognize the worst case as an option BUT IMAGINE SURVIVING IT. You are still breathing, you are still alive, You got through it!

~~Many Things Are Beyond Our Control~~

If fate has dealt you a less than perfect hand, you must not allow yourself to despair. You must play the cards you have been given and strive to make the most of them. Just focus on what you can control.

WHAT’S THE FIRE IN YOUR BONES ?!! 

CAN YOU IMPROVE THE SITUATION -THEN ACT ON IT IF NO LET IT GO.  

IF YOU HAD THE COURAGE OF A FALCON, WHAT WOULD YOU DO? 

_ IMAGINED WORLDS_

STOP ACTING LIKE A PUPPET 

IN THE MORNING TAKE A MOMENT TO PAUSE , TO GET READY FOR THE DAY

•THE ONLY THING WE POSSESS •

”TO WHAT USE AM I PUTTING MY SOUL RIGHT NOW? WHAT IS THE GUIDING PART OF ME.. IS IT THAT OF A CHILD, WOMAN, MAN, TYRANT, PUPPET, BEAST? START PURPOSEFULLY FILLING YOUR DAYS WITH THINGS OF VALUE. PAUSE BEFORE DIVING HEADLONG INTO ANY ACTIVITY AND CONSIDER IF IT WILL TRULY BENEFIT YOU . DOES IT BRING YOU CLOSER TO YOUR GOALS?

HAVE YOU EVER SAVORED THE BEAUTY OF LIFE? 

IS THIS MOMENT, THIS BREATH, THIS HEART BEAT AND THAT IS WHERE WE SHOULD ANCHOR OURSELF. ••NARROW THE VIEW TO NOT B DROWNED BY TROUBLES DIRE, PERSEVERANCE , THE KEY , ONE STEP AT A TIME HIGHER••

-Be Independent of the opinion of others-It’s not your job to b what others want you to b, your job is to b a good human ONLY . {Go do what makes your heart shine.} I am a flame, unapologetically burning bright. I will not dim my light for the sake of another’s sight. I act for myself, my will, my way, my right.

Do Not Waste What Is Left Of Your Life Worrying About Others

Do you have a person you look up to ? As friction greets you in the day, ask yourself what would they do? Do this to inspire yourself.. Learn from them. How they dealt with obstacles and setbacks. How they succeeded in spite of everything thrown their way .

Would You Dive And Conquer Or Turn And Fly Away? 

WE GET TOO CAUGHT UP IN OUR IMAGINED WORLDS. THE THINGS THAT SHAKE US ARE MOSTLY FROM OUR IMAGINATION, THE MORE WE LINGER IN THESE IMAGINED WORLDS THE STRONGER OUR FEARS BECOME. WE GET CAUGHT IN A GRIP OF PANIC, IMAGINING THE WORST CASE SCENARIOS. THE ROOT OF FEAR IS THE UNKNOWN. TO TAME IT , INSPECT IT WITH REASON. IS YOUR FEAR REAL? OR IS IT A FIGMENT OF YOUR IMAGINATION. WE MUST LEARN TO LET GO OF WHAT WE CAN’T CONTROL -

\\  FEAR IS A DREAM KILLER  \\

Mental weapons are short statements that help you when your thoughts become negative, unreasonable, against judgements that might b false. Just like a boxer w/ his fists , keep these “weapons” ready at hand .•••Whatever you imagine often shapes your mind : Your soul takes the dye of your impressions.” •••

*Keep Your Mental Weapons Ready*

These are meditations from Marcus Aurelis(A stoic philosopher and Roman Emperor who wrote these to himself to serve as a guide on how to live a good life)
